I grew up terrorised by not only both both Country and Western, but also the droning on of Wayne Newton’s “Apple Blossom Time” and “Danke Schoen” etc! I have been that scarred for life I can still remember the words to Newton’s songs.
Aaaaaaaaaaargh!

I said I was going to cheat with the Apple trees and here is why. Great trees and nice juicy red apples.






The trees were not not well packed – just a plastic bag in a plastic mailing bag.



As a result there was lots of windfall apples and foliage which I used to decorate the bases.

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE! No Guru stop cringing in the corner I am not talking about Wayne Newton’s songs.

There is a second unit of apple trees.
I originally bought ten to go two to a base because I thought they were small. No they are huge, and although I could fit two on a base, I just could not arrange them so the bases would touch because of the branches and foliage.

Not wanting to waste them I made up the second lot!

I purchased them from Amazon and other than the packaging I am very well pleased with both the trees and their service.
They will be used both as standard “orchard terrain” and “Savage Apple Trees” for Dragon Rampant and Wars of Ozz.
Great find Dave, and great use of the broken bits to improve the bases
Thanks Dave. I don’t like to waste anything.
It’s not a real apple orchard without some wormy apples on the ground! Nice job! 😀
Agreed.
Those look nice- orchards often feature in reports of combat so it will make for some well used terrain.
Cheers,
Pete.
The Peach Orchard at Gettysburg, the Apple Orchard at Antietam, and the battle at Orchard Knob during the ACW readily comes to mind.
All the orchards and Calvados in Normandy was in my mind….
Cheers,
Pete.
Love their apple/pear b randy!
Nice work. In Ozz they get to ambush!
Thanks mark
